I have not read a book by Helen Phifer, and I was thoroughly entertained, spooked, and delighted with this captivating and creepy read. It is less than 300 pages, but Phifer manages to deliver the chills, the thrills, and the bumps in the night in a gripping fashion.
Detective Maria Miller arrives at a crime scene and as she walks up the stairs of the brownstone, she feels like there is more to the gruesome crime scene than meets the eye. She feels a presence that sends shivers down her spine. Along with her partner, Frankie Conroy, she begins to investigate and finds that this murder is identical to one that took place sixty years before.
If you are looking for a read during the fall/Halloween season, look no further! I listened to the audiobook version and enjoyed the narration. I also enjoyed the mounting sense of danger, tension and dread that flowed throughout the book. Plus, the creepy brownstone is the perfect setting for his atmospheric book. Another plus is that this is the first book in an impressive new series. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series!
Creepy, atmospheric, tense and well thought out.
